Won’t sleep in bassinet

I can’t get baby to settle in bassinet. I’ve resorted to co sleeping with her because she just won’t settle in bassinet she’ll be dead asleep on me or on the bed and I’ll move her she’s awake two minutes later. She naps everywhere else just fine in her swing on the couch on me. She sleeps through the night in the bed with me but won’t sleep in her bedside bassinet at all. I’m so sore from the position I sleep in for bed sharing I also don’t really like doing it but I need her to sleep. I’m so lost

Try her in a crib! My daughter hated her bassinet, we tried one night and just gave up because it was a waste of time. She loves to move around so the crib worked better for us, we had her fully crib trained and she’s only 3 weeks old. Me and her weren’t home over the weekend so I ended up having to cosleep with her for the first time and now she won’t get out our bed so her father is sleeping on our couch and she’s taken over his side of the bed. Once you crib train her, don’t break it girl because you will be right back where you started

you are not alone, i am in the same position as you right now. still trying to find ways to get him to sleep in his bassinet like white noise, shushing, patting his butt, having the sheet smell like you, and being pitch black are some of the ways others have recommended to me but still nothing has worked yet. just know that it will get better soon, your little one is still very young and feels most comfortable when right next to you.

I have the same issue but the difference is that my baby boy won't sleep in his crib.... And he wakes up crying and screaming..... He also wakes up multiple times throughout the night and I am like a zombie now..... Exhausted and pushing through I tried everything possible Bedtime routine Warm bath with chamomile tea Lavender oil Chamomile oil Cherry juice He's almost 12months and I am terrified he won't be able to sleep alone..... And I am lost

My 4 week old is doing the same! And I’ve tried everything mentioned here. I don’t want to bedshare because I’m worried it’s not safe, but letting him sleep in his lounger, in my arms on the couch/bed/or recliner is also not safe! I can’t imagine what else we can do, except stay awake all night! How do families get through this stretch?!
